kenyersel Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 (edited) Might be a silly question but if you have a non imm O single entry and you get a 60 day extension to stay with family. Can you leave get a re-entry permit and go and come back until the end of the 150 days? Edited April 29 by kenyersel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorSucker Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Yes. If you skip the re-entry permit, you get 30 days that you also can extend for 60 days. You can get a 60 day extension on any entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, however how long would you like to remain in Thailand. There may be other options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenyersel Posted April 29 Author Share Posted April 29 I travel back and forth to Thailand from the US (British National). I work offshore in Gulf of Mexico 4 weeks on 4 weeks off. Currently on Non Imm O Multi Entry from London Embassy (no longer available) Married to a Thai National Stay in Thailand 25 days a time, 6 times a year (Not enough time for 1 year extension & re-entry permit) Plan to get Multi Entry Non O from Savannakhet with 400k seasoned in Thai Bank (Just incase). This is just figuring out other options if required. A single entry plus extension with a re entry permit would be required around twice a year. The other option if Savannakhet becomes unavailable would be Elite but that’s the last option for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the old days visa exempt entry for oil gas worked fine However you have options such as you mentioned and most likely pushed towards using multi Savannakhet. How old. Edit: you are married to Thai . Non O marriage with annual extensions not an option due to under consideration period? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenyersel Posted April 29 Author Share Posted April 29 Thanks DrJack, 35 years, married to a Thai. And yes seems that way although I am trying to explore getting a fast tracked extension but it’s proving more difficult than first thought. let’s hope Savannakhet continues to issue the Multi Entry Non O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So 50yr ? ......you could consider non O retirement with annual extensions. Has no under consideration period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before you start i know about how many entries you're suppose to be allowed but, like so many things here, it's not really enfornced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several reports back to pre covid where oil gas month on month off roster have been pushed to other options esp if over 50 or have had a non O marriage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily in your case but there is often some confusion on these threads regarding extensions. Most entries - either exempt or by visa can be extended by varying amounts. Those who are married usually (always?) get longer. Those extensions are entirely different to someone who applies for a 12 month extension of their stay based on marriage/family or retirement. That is a once a year extension and is used to effectively live in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
